The Best Tutoring in Chapel Hill

We tailor tutoring to match what students see in class across Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, Durham Public Schools, and Chatham County Schools. During our consultation, we review teacher syllabi, pacing guides, recent assignments, and upcoming units. We mirror classroom vocabulary and problem types, then fill learning gaps so students are ready for quizzes and unit tests. In Chapel Hill-Carrboro, only 56.8% of students in grades 3 to 8 are at proficient levels in math, which shows how important aligned practice is. With your permission, we can also coordinate with teachers to support IEP or classroom goals.

We support learners from elementary school through adult education. Subjects include:
– Math: number sense, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics
– English and reading: phonics, comprehension, writing, research, literature
– Science: general science, biology, chemistry, physics
– World languages and more: Spanish, French, study skills, executive functioning with our X-Skills program
We also offer test preparation for SAT, ACT, AP exams, and state assessments, plus support for college essays and academic planning. Whether your student is catching up, staying on track, or seeking enrichment, we build a plan that fits their goals.

Our four-step process keeps things simple and transparent:
1) Assess: We start with a free consultation to learn your goals, review recent work, and identify strengths and gaps.
2) Match: We select a tutor who fits your student’s learning style, personality, and subject needs.
3) Tutor: Sessions are one to one, in home or online. We teach concepts, build confidence, and reinforce classroom skills.
4) Support: You receive updates after every session, and we check in regularly to adjust the plan. Our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will make changes to the plan or tutor if needed.

Yes. We come to you in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and nearby areas, including Southern Village, Meadowmont, East 54, Northside, downtown Chapel Hill, Franklin Street, and 54 West, as well as Hillsborough, Pittsboro, and parts of Durham. We also tutor online. Every online session is recorded so students can replay explanations and review before tests. Many families choose a blend of in-home and online sessions for added flexibility.

Tutors with Tutor Doctor Cary Holly Springs are selected for subject expertise, teaching experience, and a caring approach. Each tutor completes a thorough screening and background check. We train tutors to personalize instruction, adapt to different learning styles, and build executive functioning skills through our X-Skills approach. Our team is locally led by owner Charles Gomes, who is active in the Triangle community and committed to strong school and family partnerships.

Yes. We work with many students who have learning differences and unique needs. We align tutoring with IEP or 504 goals, use clear routines, add movement or breaks as needed, and incorporate multi-sensory strategies. We move at the student’s pace, build confidence first, and keep parents informed after each session. Families often choose our X-Skills program to strengthen organization, time management, and planning alongside academics.

After every session, you receive a summary that lists what was covered, wins from the session, and next steps. We set measurable goals, check skills often, and adjust the plan when needed. For class alignment, we time practice around quizzes, unit tests, and projects. If you choose online tutoring, session recordings give students a way to review key steps before assessments. Regular check-ins with your family help us stay on the same page.

It depends on starting point, goals, and consistency. Many families notice increased confidence within a few sessions, then improvements in homework completion and quiz scores as skills build. A local parent shared, ‘I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Tutor Doctor for helping my son finish his entire junior year of math in 6 weeks with an ‘A’.’ Results vary by student, but a steady schedule, clear goals, and regular feedback help progress happen faster. The best next step is a free consultation so we can recommend a targeted plan for your child.
